Starlock® Push-On Fasteners from Baker and Finnemore

Baker and Finnemore is the manufacturer and major stockholder of Starlock® push on fasteners.

The Starlock® push on fasteners are manufactured from finest quality high carbon steel and are specially heat treated to ensure secure holding quality. Starlock® fasteners simply push on to the shaft to give an instant fix and grip, thus eliminating costly threading and grooving operations. Once fixed in position, the Starlock® push-on fasteners are so secure that they cannot be removed without destruction.

The majority of our Starlock® push-on fastener range can be supplied assembled with a cap to conceal the fixing and enhancing the appearance. A variety of cap styles and materials are available.

You can also ask for custom design push on fasteners for special applications.

Starlock® Push-On Fasteners, External Fixing Washers and Quicklock Fixing Washers.

Starlock® Push on Fasteners are available with or without a decorative cap. The standard dome and standard deep axle caps are manufactured from Stainless steel whilst the extra deep axle cap is manufacture from steel and electro zinc plated. To satisfy customer demands the caps can be made from other metals dependent on material specification and volume required. The caps hide the end of the axle and the Starlock push on fastener when assembled to provide a cosmetic appearance. Captivated Starlock pushes on fasteners are available in three distinct styles Dome Axle Cap, Deep Axle Cap and Extra Deep Axle Cap.

Starlock® Mechanical Zinc Plated Mechanical Zinc Plating is universally recognised, as the answer to ensuring products have no hydrogen embrittlement.	Starlock® Bronze & Varnish There are two ranges of standard spring steel Starlock®. One range for imperial sizes and the other for metric. For identification purposes a colour code is used to denote the ranges. The imperial spring steel Starlocks are colored Blue and the metric is coloured Bronze. The Starlocks are then given a thin varnish coating to provide a high level of finish. This finish will not protect against corrosion but is adequate for the protection of the Starlock® in most dry environments.	Starlock® Stainless Steel Push On Fasteners There are many applications where the Starlock® requires a high level of corrosion resistance or it is unsuitable to use a plated finish. A limited range of Starlock® have been manufactured from austenitic stainless steel and are available to provide the answer.
